English term or phrase: nature or nurture (in this context)

Documental on el protagonista és un fill adoptat. La frase surt dos cops, primer quan parla del seu pare adoptiu i després quan parla de la seva mare biològica. M'agradaria trobar una única solució que funcionés en els dos casos i que fos breu perquè estic fent subtítols. Fins ara, el que més m'agrada és "Heretat o après?", però no queda gaire bé amb la broma del pollastre.

(Parlant del pare adoptiu)
A music teacher, he instructed me in the violin. His authority was in his hands. Could I have "inherited" anything from him? Nature or nurture, the question every adoptee asks sooner or later.

(Parlant de la mare biològica, ell té 33 anys i s'acaben de conèixer)
She is small and frail, and probably frightened, but I put my arm around her and we do the only thing appropriate in the circumstances, we go to an Indian restaurant. I don't know about nature and nurture, but that evening I discover that we both like Chicken Tikka Masala.

Moltes gràcies!
